GoPowercat publisher Tim Fitzgerald delivers his thoughts on the day's notable headlines from Kansas State athletics and the sports world. Here is what is on today's agenda:. Big 12, and likely ACC, football programs are beginning to see a new dirty trick being played on the recruiting trail. Recruits are now saying that some coaches from the Big Ten and SEC are telling recruits that Big 12 schools soon won't be playing college football at the highest level. In reality, no one knows if a super division will be created, what schools will be included, and how long before the settling of law suits even clears the path for this new semi-pro division of college football.

Yes, you could name off about eight to 10 key defenders who either didn't play or barely played on that last Saturday in April.
